Volume 4 Southwest Raiders Chapter 399 Windfall (Medium)

The warehouse in front of him was much smaller than the money and grain warehouses in the Tang Gate that I had seen before, that is, half the size of those warehouses. However, the items stacked inside are dazzling, and the number of categories alone is more than several times that of other warehouses combined.

There are fine fine iron, all kinds of parts that are beginning to take shape, a few boxes of dart needle thistle, and even some jars and jars, and if you get close, you can smell a sickening pungent smell.

Obviously, these are all hidden weapons that have not been completely manufactured, as long as the last process is completed, and then put into many jars to soak for a period of time, it is a piece of quenched poison, which can be called the Tang Sect highly poisonous secret weapon that people in the rivers and lakes talk about.

Just looking at these things, many generals were there to admire.

In the past, I had only heard about how powerful and rare the poison weapons of the Tang Sect were, but today can be regarded as a real eye-opener.

Xiao Kedi followed the door at this time and glanced around, and the thoughtful Sun Ningyu reported: "Your Majesty doesn't know, when the ministers were ordered to rush over, they also found that a lot of dry firewood was piled up around this warehouse, and it was obvious that the Tang Men planned to set fire to this place completely.

"It's just that something suddenly changed that didn't light this fire, and they finally saved this warehouse."

Sun Ning twitched his nose, slowly came to the wall on his left hand that looked quite thick, patted his hand, and said casually: "It should be that the people who were ordered to set fire to this place were able to escape for their own lives, and they didn't care about it after seeing the city broken."

"The tree is falling and scattering, this is the inevitable thing!"

As he spoke, he pointed to the wall and said, "Smash it open, there should be something inside!" ”

Immediately behind him, a soldier stepped forward and slammed the weapon in his hand against the wall, and it really opened a gap, revealing another space inside, and everyone else was stunned.

Afterwards, everyone praised one after another: "Your Majesty is wise, he is really like a torch, nothing can be hidden from His Majesty!" ”

"Hehe, it's not that my eyes are bright enough, but my nose is ......" Sun Ning said with a solemn expression, "Be careful, especially the torches, don't put on the things inside!" ”

As he spoke, he had already taken a torch first, stepped into this secret room cautiously, found a few arm-thick candles around him, and lit them one by one, so that the space suddenly seemed bright, and there was no need to bring any torches in.

And under the light of candlelight, the situation in this room with a radius of five or six feet is also completely and clearly presented in front of everyone.

It looks very similar to the outside, which is also the meaning of a warehouse workshop, but there is too much elaboration to arrange tables and chairs, and the various delicate tools placed on the ebony long table alone are dazzling.

There are many tools that you have never heard of before, and you don't know what they can do.

And in the middle of the table, there was a fist-sized ball, shining in the candlelight. In the jar next to it, there were some fine needles with a blue glow, and black and yellow powder. The powder was also placed in several stoneware jars at the other end, exuding a pungent smell, which made people cover their mouths and noses for fear of toxicity.

Sun Ning laughed after sweeping these: "That's it." ”

"Your Majesty knows what kind of secret weapon this is making?" Xiao Kedi asked in surprise.

I came here before the emperor, and not only did I not find this secret room, but I also didn't know what these things were for.

"Do you remember Tang Shou's clumsy surrender and assassination before?" Sun Ning played with the half-finished ball in his hand and asked casually.

Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then they each nodded: "This minister naturally remembers...... Could it be that Your Majesty meant that the terrible secret weapon they were using at that time was this thing? ”

They all clearly remembered that the terrifying lethality of the orbs released by those Tang Sect dead soldiers, and the thin needles scattered from the explosion, were indeed far more powerful than any hidden weapon they had encountered before.

Sun Ning nodded: "That's it." Not only is it cleverly structured, but it is also filled with this powder, which is gunpowder. Sniffing this somewhat familiar smell, Sun Ning's eyes were quite complicated.

He was able to find the secret room because he smelled the familiar smell of gunpowder through his nose.

As a former mercenary soldier king in later generations, he was even more impressed by the smell of gunpowder and sulfur emitted by this kind of gunpowder and sulfur gas in the rain of bullets.

It's just that after traveling to this era, I almost never smelled it until that night......

Sun Ning originally thought that gunpowder had not yet appeared in the land of China on this timeline, but now it seems that this is not the case. At least the people of the Tang Sect have actually begun to put gunpowder and weapons together, and have also developed this new type of hidden weapon with multiplying lethality.

As for why the imperial court did not use gunpowder as a weapon, but was preemptively used by private forces, it is unknown.

But one thing is certain, and that is that this discovery will be of great benefit to him, and with gunpowder, weapons can be turned upside down and improved.

The original history has given the clearest answer to this point.

In fact, Sun Ning had not had the idea of this before, but he was only a user of thermal weapons, not a developer.

Although he knew that gunpowder was made of sulfur, saltpeter and charcoal in a certain proportion, further weapon development was a smear of his eyes.

Coupled with the fact that he has been busy running around, and he doesn't even have a real place to stay, he naturally can't think of any firearms with peace of mind.

But after seeing the secret weapon of the Tang Sect before, his thoughts were a little advanced, and now, looking at these things, he felt even more surprised.

But then, Sun Ning regretted again, could it be that this craftsman who could make such a firearm was also killed?

Knowing this, he shouldn't have given such a decisive order to kill, but he could still save it and leave this most important person behind.

"Pass on my order now, and then take the people of the Tang Sect, don't execute them first, I want to ask from them who is making the secret weapon here, I want to find this person!"

As soon as he thought of this, he gave an order.

The courtiers and guards were stunned when they heard this, but they quickly agreed, and then someone hurried out to convey the new will.

They could all see that among all the warehouses and materials they saw along the way, what the emperor valued the most was what they saw in the smallest secret room, and everything here was obviously very important.

And just when this will spread rapidly, Xiao Qian and the remaining Yan family members finally returned to Jinguan City with the only Tang Sect captive.
